Donggong Zhangjiao

When Qingrong arrived with his people, it was still a step too late.

Centering on Yong'an Palace, they searched around and found Banxia's body in a well not far away.

When she fished it out, Banxia was still holding a butterfly gold hairpin tightly in her hand.

According to other palace maids who knew about it, this butterfly golden hairpin was given to Banxia by He Lingyi when he first entered the harem and was granted the title of concubine.

There was also a palace maid named Panchun, who gave one to each of them. That one named Panchun passed away due to illness a few months ago.

Wearing plain clothes and holding the gold hairpin rewarded by his master tightly in his hand, he still committed suicide by throwing himself into a well. From this look, he seemed to be following in the footsteps of He Lingyi.

The death of a palace maid is not really a big deal in the palace.

The person above said "loyal servant" and said he was buried well.

However, after Banxia's body was taken out of the palace, it was taken elsewhere.

Liu Qin was waiting outside and had arranged for an autopsy on the deceased.

After the incident involving the Yang family was over, Liu Qin returned to Dali Temple as an official, and his official position was promoted one level. He can help with things like investigating cases and autopsies.

And this group of people was naturally ordered by Fang Yun.

Banxia's death was so coincidental that Fang Yun always felt that it was not as simple as committing suicide by throwing herself into a well.

But no matter what, the clue is now broken, and everything has to be explored again.

But the deaths of He Lingyi and Ban Xia made Fang Yun wary of Lin Chan in his heart.

What exactly did he want to do? He was so afraid of being discovered that he killed He Lingyi directly at any cost.

A foreign princess, who has not yet been favored, wants to enter Da Qi's harem.

After adding these factors together, Fang Yun had a vague guess in his mind, but he was not sure, so he could only think about it by himself before making any plans.

On the Furong Palace side, Lin Chan was relieved to learn that A Jin had settled the matter.

"Let's settle down first. The New Year is about to start in about a month, and the newcomer will enter the palace at the end of the first month of the new year. Perhaps the newcomer can take advantage of it better than the stupid He family."

"Your Majesty is right." Liuli rubbed her shoulders, "They say newcomers are fresh. He Lingyi is an old man who is tired of being looked at by the Emperor. Naturally, there is no newcomer who can win the Emperor's favor and do things for the Empress."

Lin Chan raised her hand and rubbed her forehead, "I hope there are some useful ones."

She knew very well that she was thrown out of Shangyang Kingdom with the idea that if she could succeed, she would succeed, and if she couldn't, it wouldn't be a pity to lose.

My own life, and that of my mother-in-law, are only important to me.

When He Lingyi died of illness, Pei Yao showed his sorrow and did not enter the harem for three days.

In fact, he doesn't have to be like this, but at this time, it is also a good thing to set up a character who misses the old relationship.

His absence in the past few days also gave Fang Yun the opportunity and time to investigate Banxia's death.

Yuzhang Palace.

Yuan He quickly came in from outside and waved his hands to retreat from the palace maids and eunuchs who were sweeping the room.

Fang Yun was reading at that time. When he saw this situation, he knew that he had something important to report, so he immediately put down the book in his hand.

Sure enough, when Yuan He opened his mouth, it was the news she wanted to hear.

"Mother, the news from Mr. Liu is that Banxia did not commit suicide. She was knocked unconscious and then drowned in a well."

"Are you absolutely sure?"

Fang Yun looked more serious and asked.

Yuan He nodded, "Master Liu said that he invited three very experienced co-workers to conduct an autopsy together. There is no mistake."

"Okay, I know, you did a good job." Fang Yun nodded.

It is certain that Banxia was killed by someone, which means that Lin Chan must have some great secret.

Otherwise, she would not necessarily kill them all to ensure safety.

Thinking of this, Fang Yun immediately ordered Yan Wei and Qing Rong to keep a close eye on Lin Chan.

However, as she expected, there was no movement in Furong Hall during this period.

That's right, if the big moves that just happened were so rampant now, they should have been caught long ago.

But no matter whether she is honest or dishonest, she must be watched.In Yuzhang Palace, Pei Yao came over three days after He Lingyi passed away.

Fang Yun was taking a nap at that time.

Winter has come, and the earth dragons are burning in the palace. People feel sleepy when it gets warm.

Pei Yao went straight into the inner room without calling anyone.

Seeing that the person on the couch was sleeping soundly, he didn't wake her up. He just took off his coat, lay down on it, and fell asleep together.

He was busy with things these days, and he was so tired that he didn't sleep much for several days.

It's the end of the year, and officials from all over the country are in Beijing to report on their work, and the six ministries in central and central Beijing are also summarizing and reporting. There are so many things going on that tired people can't get away.

So in the past few days, what was said to the outside world was that He Lingyi was mourning, but in fact, Pei Yao was also busy with his own affairs.

Tian family is ruthless, it has always been like this.

Even though He Lingyi had been with Pei Yao for many years, Pei Yao didn't really feel sad at all, but he did feel sad.

After all, He Lingyi was favored when he was in the East Palace.

Back to the point.

Fang Yun slept for almost an hour during this afternoon nap.

When I woke up, I found that there was someone else around me, and I was also surprised.

"emperor?"

As soon as he called in a low voice, he was pulled into his arms.

Pei Yao didn't speak or open his eyes, and just hugged the person like a pillow.

"The emperor didn't let anyone wake me up even when he came. I was so deep asleep that I didn't even notice." Fang Yun reached out and poked his cheek.

At this moment, he knew that Pei Yao was already awake, so he was not afraid of disturbing him.

After poking and prodding, the tip of his finger was bitten slightly by Pei Yao.

"pain!"

Fang Yun snorted slightly and retracted his hand.

"Squeamish."

Pei Yao curled his lips and lazily opened his eyes.

"I'll just sleep for a little while. When you wake up, you won't let me sleep?"

"The emperor showed up out of the blue, how scary it is." Fang Yun raised his eyes and looked at him, "I must have been very busy these days, and I'm already black and blue now."

"Yeah, I'm too busy to do anything else."

Pei Yao hugged her tighter and rested his chin on the top of the woman's soft hair.

Feeling his movement, Fang Yun also put his hand on his waist.

"Ji'er was still thinking about meeting her father this morning. The emperor came over. It can be seen that father and son are connected. I will ask someone to stew some pigeon soup later. The emperor will have some for dinner to replenish his body and work hard. State affairs have always been troublesome.”

"You just make arrangements. When I come to your place, I really don't want to think about anything."

With Nephrite in my arms, just lying there, the fatigue on my body was reduced by half.

Fang Yun smiled lightly, and then asked again, "Has your Majesty visited the Queen? Today I came to my concubine, and tomorrow I have to go to Fengxuan Palace to sit there."

"Why are you driving me away just after I came?" Pei Yao said deliberately.

Knowing his thoughts, Fang Yun didn't hesitate.

He snorted and reached out to poke his heart.

"The emperor is used to teasing people. If I really come here as I please and lock the emperor in the Yuzhang Palace and not allow him to leave, I'm afraid the spit from the previous dynasty will drown me. I'll have to be labeled as a monster." As for the title of concubine, the emperor is really willing to give it up."

"You have a bad mouth, I say one thing to you, and you say ten to me." Pei Yao laughed and kissed the forehead of the man in his arms, "Okay, I know what you mean. Now, the Queen has not yet decided on He's death. After cooking, I will go see her tomorrow."

Enough with the jokes, Fang Yun now looked more serious and nodded.

Then he said, "Speaking of which, I have something to tell the emperor about the He family. I only got the news this morning."
